Croatia, where the Mediterranean climate makes every day feel like a holiday, the emerald waters of the Adriatic offer days of water sport fun, and the ancient walled towns give groups a rich and interesting cultural experience. Scouting and Guiding activity trips to Croatia have so much appeal, and we’re not surprised that it’s seen such a rapid growth in popularity in recent years.
From snorkelling in caves to stand up paddleboarding at night on lit up boards, from swinging through the trees on a high ropes course to day tripping to nearby Venice, you won’t fail to create memories that your members will be talking about for years to come in Croatia.

Pula Youth Hostel – the perfect base for a week of adventure!
We think the best thing about Pula Youth Hostel is its stunning location. Walk out the door and you’re a stone’s throw away from one of the Istrian Peninsula’s beautiful pebble beaches and crystal-clear waters. What’s more, everything is within easy reach of Pula, from water parks to adventure parks and hiking to water sports – after all, that’s what you’ve come to Croatia for! The simple Youth Hostel offers comfortable ‘Pavilions’ which are standalone group units, with dormitory style accommodation.
Activities and Excursions
If your group are looking for water sports morning, noon and night, then Croatia will not disappoint! But for that little break from the crystal-clear sea, there is plenty to see and do within an hour of Pula. Adventure, culture and fun – Croatia has it all in abundance!

How could your trip to Croatia look?
It’s important to remember that all of our itineraries are tailor-made. There’s no fixed itinerary, every trip is different. That said, we know it’s helpful to see how your time away could look, so here’s a sample itinerary to get the ideas flowing.

It’s time to learn more about the history and culture of the Old Town of Pula and its Roman ruins! This could be a perfect time to pick up a few souvenirs or gifts.
Day 3
Accompanied by a qualified instructor, you’ll take a boat trip out into the beautiful, crystal-clear ocean where the boat will anchor in a prime spot for snorkelling and exploring the marine wildlife. Once you’re back on dry land, why not spend the afternoon at the aquarium?
